Jonathan Mount a second year Graphic Design student has won a YCN Design Award Commendation in the Fedrigoni Paper category. The competition brief was to design a highly coveted Christmas gift for Fedrigoni using their Constellation range of paper. His entry ‘Standles’ features a range of candle stands engineered from the paper range, based on the three festive gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

It’s great to engage on briefs where the physical is of importance as it shows the wide gamut of disciplines within design as a whole. The encouragement and feedback from tutors and industry professionals has helped enormously as I head into my placement year.
